The master key works in every lock.
The subkey will not work in the trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the
subkey with the attendant.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.Keep the key number plate in a safe
place such as your wallet, not in the
vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you need
additional keys, duplicates can be made
by a Toyota dealer using the key number.
You should also put a copy of the key
number with your important papers.

LOCKING WITH REAR DOOR CHILD-
PROTECTOR
Turn the lock knob to the LOCKº
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear door
so it can be opened from the outside only,
not from inside. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The ignition key must be in the ONº posi-
tion.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver's door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.

DOWS

To open the back door from the out-
side, insert the key and turn it counter-
clockwise to unlock. Then pull the
handle and raise the back door.
See Luggage stowage precautionsº in
Part 2 for precautions to observe in load-
ing luggage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securley
closed.
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the lug-
gage from being thrown out but also
prevents exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle.
CAUTION!
To lock the back door, push the switch
on the LOCK side. To unlock the back
door, push the switch on the UNLOCK
side.
You can, of course, lock and unlock the
back door manually.To open the hood, pull the hood lock
release lever under the dash. The hood
will spring up slightly. In front of the
vehicle, press up on the auxiliary
catch lever and lift the hood. Then
hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its
clipÐthis prevents rattles. Then lower the
hood and make sure it locks into place. If
necessary, press down gently on the front
edge to lock it.
After inserting the rod, make sure it
supports the hood securely.

To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
side doors, trunk lid, back door or hood
is forcibly unlocked or the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights and
other exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will
be cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the ºLOCKº
position.
2. Have all passengers get out of the ve-
hicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, trunk
lid, back door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, trunk lid, back door and
hood are closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30 se-
conds before the setting, during which the
side doors, trunk lid, back door and hood
may be opened to prepare for the setting.
Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either front door. This will cancel the
system.

4. After making sure the indicator light
starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the side doors, trunk lid, back
door or hood is open at that time, the set-
ting is interrupted until it is closed and
locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.

The system will give the alarm and cut the
starter circuit under the following condi-
tions:

If any of the side doors, trunk lid, back
door or hood is unlocked without using
the key

and then reconnected
After 1 minute, the alarm will automatical-
ly stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.

the alarm each time alll the side doors,
trunk lid, back door and hood are closed
after the alarm stops.

the following conditions:

door or hood is opened

and then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the igniion key from the ºLOCKº to
ºACCº position. The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep the
alarm from being reactivated when any of
the side doors, trunk lid, back door or hood
is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the trunk and back
door can be opened with the key without
activating or cancelling the system. While
it is open, the side doors and hood may be
opened in addition. However, when the

side doors, trunk, back door and hood.
The trunk and back door must be closed

lever up.
CAUTION!

Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refuelling.
The fumes are flammable.

When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot
weather, fuel under pressure
could cause injury by spraying
out of the filler neck if the cap is
suddenly removed.
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise, then
pause slightly before removing it. Af-
ter removing the cap, hang it on the
cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a click.
CAUTION!

Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
case of an accident.

Use only a genuine Toyota fuel
tank cap for replacement. It has a
built in check valve to reduce fuel
tank vacuum.
